Record Auto Sales in U.S. fueled by Cheap Credit
Record Auto Sales in U.S. fueled by Cheap Credit
Nothing has been learned since the 2008 crash. What the mainstream media won't explain to you again. Of course the auto industry had a record yearhow could it not? CASEYS'S DAILY DISPACH NEWS I've seen auto rates as low as 0% for 84 months. When money is free, people buy now and think later. The U.S. auto loan market has grown 18 quarters in a row. Last year, it topped $1 trillion for the first time ever. There is now 47% more auto debt outstanding than credit card debt in the U.S. The auto leasing market is also booming because of easy money. Leasing made up 27% of car sales during the first quarter of 2015. Those leases will expire 40 months from now. And someone has to buy those vehicles. This year, over 3 million leased cars will hit the market. Even more will hit the market next year and the year after. All these used cars will create a huge glut. If the free money dries up at the same time, things will get ugly fast. Thats how booms built on easy money come to an end. CASEY NEWS
